Canada: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on health care, alleged election interference – March 6, 2023

On Parliament Hill, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh holds a news conference ahead of the vote in the House of Commons on his party’s opposition day motion on health care. The motion calls on the government to ensure health-care funding goes toward protecting and improving the public system, and urges MPs to condemn recent efforts from some provinces to expand private delivery of common surgeries. The NDP leader responds to questions from reporters about his calls for a public inquiry into alleged foreign interference in Canada’s federal elections and whether the government’s unwillingness to agree to such a probe could impact his party’s support for the Liberals in the minority Parliament.
